Tuesday 6th August - Sunday 15th September, 2019
For ten years, Galway University Hospitals Arts Trust, provided a multidisciplinary Arts and Health programme to promote wellbeing and improve the hospital experience at Galway’s public hospitals.

[GUH Arts Trust @guharts]

Developed through participatory workshops with patients, it explores the significance of the simple postcard in connecting from a distance, making someone’s day, and in making the hospital more human – even if we seem to not be saying very much.

Tomorrow we'll have one of our special mindfulness tours of the collection - a lovely chance to enjoy some time out and take a look at some works at a slower pace. It starts at 1.30pm, and will end with some quiet reflection.

What a great article. Highlights how 'bringing nature indoors is a recognised industry tool to incorporate health and wellbeing into design and infrastructure' Well worth reading in full. Many of our exhibitions bring the external landscape to a healthcare setting. #artsandhealth
